How and where to buy Digibyte (DGB)

To make it easy for you, we bring you a step b step guide on how to buy DGB. So if you are interested to invest follow through;

First we need to set up a wallet to store the DigiByte you’re about to buy. We’re going to set up a desktop wallet in this guide. Go to the DigiByte official wallet page. Choose the file that works for your computer and download it. Once it has downloaded, run the file.

Upon complete installation run the program. The wallet will now begin synchronising to the blockchain. This can take some time. It may show you a warning that recent transactions might not be visible- you can hide the warning. Press settings. Then ‘Encrypt wallet’. Enter a password that’s hard to guess but which you won’t forget. Press OK. The wallet will give you a warning. Read it. Understand it. Then press ‘Yes’.

Click ‘File’ and then ‘Backup wallet’ and save this file.

Click the ‘Receive’ button, then ‘Request payment’. You will be given your wallet address, which looks like a long string of numbers and letters. Copy it down somewhere safe as we’ll need it soon.

Now we are going to exchange some crypto coins for Digibyte. We are trading Ethereum here, you can trade any that is in your possession.

We’ll use the site Kucoin to exchange your Ethereum for DigiByte. Click here to go to Kucoin, and click ‘Sign Up’ on the top right menu. Enter your email address, and a strong password. Press ‘Next’.

You will receive a confirmation email. The link in the email will log you into your Kucoin account. Before you can deposit your Ethereum into the exchange you must set up two-factor authentication on your account.

Once your 2-step is set up, press ‘Assets’ on the top menu. In the list of coins, find Ethereum (ETH) and press ‘Deposit’.

On this screen you will be given a wallet address (a long string of numbers and letters) to deposit your Ethereum to. Copy this address down as you’ll need it soon.

Now, return to Coinbase. Click ‘Accounts’ from the top menu, then find your Ethereum wallet listed on the left. Click ‘Send’.

In the ‘Recipient’ box, paste the Ethereum wallet address we just copied from Kucoin. In amount, type how much Ethereum you wish to send (there is a ‘use max’ option if you wish to send it all). Click ‘Continue’.

Coinbase may ask you to confirm with your password/phone. Follow the instructions until it confirms the Ethereum are sent.

Once the Ethereum shows in your ‘Available ETH'(takes time) balance we’re ready to trade it for DigiByte. Click here to jump straight to the DGB/ETH exchange market on Kucoin.

First, look to the box marked ‘Buy/Sell’ and enter a 2-factor authentication code from your phone/computer to enable it. On the ‘Buy DGB’ side of the box, click the number beside ‘Best price’. This will input the lowest price that DGB are currently selling for. Below that, it will also show you how much this price is in dollars (this is price per coin).

In the box marked ‘Amount’, click the blue symbol beside ‘Max’, and this will show you the maximum amount of DGB, at this price, that you can buy with your Ethereum. If you don’t want to spend all your Ethereum right now, you can manually type the amount of DGB you wish to buy in the box, or use the slider below it to change the percentage of Ethereum spent.

Once you’re happy with the amount, press ‘Buy’. Your buy order has been placed. You will soon see your new DigiByte balance appear in ‘Available DGB’ on the sell side of the Buy/Sell box.
